7 Best Face Swap Apps for Android and iPhone

Everyone loves the face they were born with. This is the face we have been seeing as long as we could remember; how could we not love it? But, what if our faces were a bit different? Maybe we had a face of a dog or cat or had horns above our head or the face of someone famous. This is how Face Swapping apps have captured our imagination. Such is the allure of swapping our faces, that there are groups and communities dedicated to just that.

Face Swapping apps are on the rise and there are already a number of apps in the market. Some of the apps are exclusively for face swapping, while others compliment it with a number of options. Whatever your heart desires, there would certainly be an app for that.

So, what is the best way to swap our faces? Let’s take a look at the apps in the market for swapping face.

Top 7 Face Swap Apps

1) Face Swap Live

Let’s begin with the best app there is. Face Swap Live is the most popular face swapping app for its unique feature: you can swap faces with your friend in real time. Moreover, you can even record videos while your faces are swapped. Furthermore, the app comes with a ton of other filters to enhance your selfies. Another great feature of Face Swap Live allows you to swap faces with famous celebs.

With so many great features, it is not a surprise that most of the Android and iOS users prefer Face Swap Live to be the default app for face swapping. Seriously, if there is one app you want to install for swapping faces, this is the one.

2) MSQRD

At the first glance, MSQRD (which stands for Masquerade) seems like a copy of Face Swap Live. However, you couldn’t be more wrong. MSQRD works on the concept of digital masks, which are laid over the original image. That being said, it does behave like any face swapping app should. You can swap faces with your friends or famous people, along with trying a ton of other masks. MSQRD specializes in taking video selfies, which is the latest craze in the town. The fact that it has been acquired by Facebook speaks volumes about its mettle.

3) Snapchat

Let’s talk about the app which started this all. Snapchat is one of the most popular apps among the youth, and face swapping is one of the various features it provides. Face swapping in Snapchat could be achieved by selecting one of its “lenses”. The reason why you should go for Snapchat is the sheer number of features it provides you with. From basic dog filter to the more recent (and hyped) GOT filter, Snapchat has a lot of tricks under its sleeves. If you are not looking for an exclusive face swapping app but rather something more diverse, then nothing could be more perfect than Snapchat.

4) Face Swap Booth

The simplest apps are the one which is made specifically for one task; interestingly, they are also the most effective ones. Face Swap Booth is one such app, which is solely about swapping faces. Not only it allows you to swap faces with your friends and celebrities, but also with some other photos already stored on your device. The easy to use and a lightweight interface is surely one of the better features of this app, which allows it to have an edge over heavier apps like Snapchat and Face Swap Live. It might not be as famous as the other apps, but it is definitely worth trying.

5) Lip Swap

When we have already talked about so many great apps, it sure becomes hard to compete with them.
This is why Lip Swap comes up with something different: swapping specific parts of the face. It has
limited features and ideas, restricting the filters you could use. However, if you are bored of regular face
swapping apps and want to try something different and fun, then this is quite right for you.

6) MixBooth

MixBooth is another app that does not exactly swap faces but rather combines two faces into one. It does that placing one face over another image, instead of laying it over. Once again, MixBooth suffers from the lack of features and diversity. However, it does have a particular target audience who love to enjoy what MixBooth offers.

7) Face Swap

The last app in the list of best face swap apps is Face Swap. If you only care about swapping faces and nothing else, you might want to try this app. It surely lacks a number of desirable features, but the face swapping is great. It offers both auto and manual detection of faces to be swapped, so you have some control over the swapping process. The USP of the app is its simplicity and lightweight user interface, which allows you to use it without any hassle.
